You wouldn’t go to a gun lobbyist or a Smith and Wesson executive for advice about your health. But that’s who is controlling our nation’s response to one of the deadliest epidemics of our time: the public health crisis of gun violence.

Thanks to gun-maker money, the NRA has managed to buy laws like Florida’s notorious “Docs V. Glocks,” which bars physicians from asking their patients about whether they have a gun in their home – let alone whether that gun is accessible to a curious toddler.

It’s time to end this epidemic. Doctors are the most trusted sources of health advice in America.
